Donald Trump is running for president

[Brownstone]

Say what you want about Trump, but the guy does hit the nail on the head sometimes. Like for instance the other day he was speaking in front of the Jewish elite, as many candidates do- plain as day he says and I'm paraphrasing here:

"You know judging on the history in the region, I tend to quesiton whether Isreal truly wants peace in the region"

Or for instance his stances on certain tax policies really ring true. If you are able to seperate the man from his words, he can truly be a breath of fresh air. And I'm not just talking about his tone, but his candor.

You're probably the type to say the black lives matter movement is racist. Calling Isreal out for human rights violations and apartheid doesn't make me an anti-semite. Calling a certain demographic of this country a bunch of bigots, doesn't make me Un-American.


Nighty night, you should listen to some Ted Nugent I know the sound of his voice soothes you.

QFE.

Perfect way to sum it up.

So ya'll are counting his pandering to every group by hitting the lowest common denominator as keeping it 100? That's silly. But I guess it's all good until his pandering goes against a group you represent.

 

[retro23j]

 
It's important I vote in this election more than the past, I don't want him anywhere near the white house. 

This right here. I'm not too excited about any of the candidates but I definitely don't want him in there.

This. I mean I do low key agree with the points BlackIntellect highlighted, but come on this dude has gone at everyone like yall said, broken clock.

Basically the only ones he hasn't gone at are rich white men, go figure.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

How is Trump keeping it 100 when some of the stuff he says are flat out lies?

Keeping it real has nothing to do with being too stupid to fact check.

Jesus, this country is full of idiots

 

[frink85]

Basically whenever he says "the media isn't gonna like this..." or "what I'm going to say isn't PC..." then you know some false BS is coming out of his mouth. People love the "outlaw"

 

[doozy122]

 
People are treating this like he's some type of spectacle or entertainer. He keep it 100, those are the type of people supporting him. They don't give a damn about his policies, they are voting him in for "talking $%$#". That's what this country has come to.

did they tell you that they are "voting for him for talking *****?" Or do you just read their minds?

That's actually one of the main reasons people state why they support Trump

I agree with this so much I thought about qualifying my statement with it in my original post.

That being said, why is Trump able to say what he says? Part of the reason I feel is we are seeing a retread of the silent majority we saw with Nixon in the 60's. White, wealthy suburbanites agree with what he is saying, and while this might not necessarily be a surprise to anyone, it does make it quite difficult to write it off as conjecture. Also, this should signify a MAJOR need for campaign finance reform. Why is it that it takes a person who wants to keep muslim's out of the country to comment on the very suffering Muslim's have endured for decades in the Middle East?

Also, as laughable as a majority of Trump's stances are, I hope you guys are as critical on Mrs. Clinton's short comings.

^ To your last point I don't think there is a great candidate to be found this election

 

[mister friendly]

How about Marco Rubio?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Kaisch is the only GOP candidate I'm not terrified of.

What about Rand?

This dude is similar to Andrew Jackson and wanting to have his own modern version of the Trail of Tears if he had his way. And Andrew Jackson is honestly the last president that won as a populist which this guy is trying to be. I usually don't vote because living in NYC the democratic nominee will take the votes anyway. But man, this guy has me riled up enough that I will sign up to vote for the first time in my life so at least I know that I did everything in my power to show that I want to be disassociated with everything that he stands for publicly.

I've never voted, but this debacle may very well entice me. Still, I don't believe in any of the candidates.

I used to be scared of him and his big libertarian base but he's become so marginalized in this race that's he's basically a non factor now
